[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1962959, member: 87243"] I have loaded rl26 in several different 7 mags. I did not have any of the spikey issues as mentioned, very stable and predictable. I also don't generally shoot in hot weather, if you do, your experience may vary, but living in Wyoming, 85+ is super hot, and not common. Most hunting is done in the 20°-60° range. Here is my load data from one 26" 7 mag, in conjunction with the brass, 3 of each. The ones with arrows pointing at them had ejector marks prior to shooting. This is a factory Remington, and has a very sloppy firing pin, the craters appear even at nearly 7mm-08 performance. Brass ended up lasting 3 more firings at 68.5, and primer pockets were still fine. Replaced the brass with Norma for better consistency. This was using a CCI 250.
